Question 1799 Deck Safety
70% to passYou are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The top 2 inches of number "9" are visible above the waterline. What is the draft?
A
8'-10"
B
9'-02"
C
9'-04"
D
9'-08"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 9'-04". The draft mark shown in the illustration indicates that the top 2 inches of the number "9" are visible above the waterline. This means the draft of the vessel is 9 feet and 4 inches, as the full height of the number "9" is typically 11 inches. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the draft reading shown in the illustration. Options A and B would indicate a draft that is either shorter or longer than what is visible, while option D would be an overestimation of the actual draft.
